Samsung Galaxy S10 One UI 3.0 beta testers aren’t able to rollback to Android 10
Samsung Galaxy S10 series smartphone owners have already started experiencing the latest One UI 3.0 under the beta testing program. These devices have received the first One UI 3.0 beta build just a few days ago and its issues and bugs have started coming to the light.
Like any other beta testing, Samsung One UI 3.0 beta has also been reported for some errors and one of them is the compatibility of system apps. According to the latest information, some One UI 3.0 beta participants of the Galaxy S10 series smartphones have tried to switch to the Android 10 based One UI 2.5 version because of some problems regarding battery drain and lagging.
Meanwhile, the Smart Switch application doesn’t allow users to do a rollback to the previous Android OS that is Android 10 (One UI 2.5). Following the reports, the community official advised the Galaxy S10 phone owners to wait for some time until the 2nd beta arrives.

Adding to this, after installing the Android 11 based One UI 3.0 beta on your smartphone, if you go back to the previous Android OS, some system applications like Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass may perform abnormally.
“When rolling back to the previous OS after beta firmware update on S10 series, Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass could not be used normally. Please do not rollback until the modified firmware is released.” Said Beta Operation Manager
The battery drain issue is not a new problem because at the time of the first One UI 3.0 beta build for Galaxy Note 10 devices, beta testers have reported severe battery consumption issues. Following these errors, Samsung has suspended the beta rollout then started again after the issues get resolved.
Moreover, some Galaxy S10 device owners also facing issues with zooming in/out in their phone’s camera app. When they want to zoom, a green screen appears randomly on the touchscreen of the smartphones.
Well, Samsung has closed the first round to participate in the One UI 3.0 beta program. The company may soon announce the second round to join the beta testing.

If your Samsung phone’s home screen is freezing or rebooting after updating to One UI 6.1.1, you’re not alone. Many Samsung users are facing issues where their home screen is not functioning properly. This problem is particularly frustrating for people as it hinders a good user experience.
One of the reasons for crashing or freezing is that changing or disabling system apps through development mode or certain apps might affect the Home screen on your Samsung smartphone. When essential system components are altered, it can cause instability.
Fortunately, Samsung has shared a solution for this issue. To address and potentially resolve it, users can try resetting the app settings.
Here’s how you do this:
- Navigate to the device’s Settings menu.
- Go to the ‘Apps’ section.
- Tap the three vertical dots located at the top right corner of the screen to open more options.
- Select ‘Reset app settings’ from the dropdown menu.
It is important to note that resetting app settings will restore all app preferences to their default state. This means that notification settings and default app choices will be reset. Users need to set these settings according to their preferences.
If the issue persists despite resetting app settings, or if you encounter any other inconveniences, you can contact the Samsung customer service call center at 1588-3366. The support team can provide expert guidance to help resolve the problem effectively.
WhatsApp has released an essential update for its beta users, which fixes an issue with locked chats and filters. The new update is available through version 2.24.19.35 on the Google Play Beta Program.
The fresh beta update addresses an issue found in the previous beta version, 2.24.19.16. This beta version brought the Meta AI Assistant feature to help businesses by providing personalized insights and creating content for their catalogs, including images and ads.
However, users of this update encountered a major issue as the locked chats and chat filters stopped working properly. Mainly, users found that locked chats were missing from their interface, and they could not use filters to manage their conversations.
Several WhatsApp beta testers tried to fix the problem by restarting their devices or force-stopping the app, but these actions did not resolve the issue. This bug makes it difficult to access important conversations and navigate through messages.
Fortunately, WhatsApp has now fixed the issue with locked chats and filters through its latest beta update. After installing this update, users can once again access their locked chats and use chat filters.
If you are also testing the WhatsApp beta version on your Android devices, install the latest update to enjoy a smoother and error-free experience.

Several Android users have recently reported that Google Maps keeps crashing. The issue affects Android users using both stable and beta versions of the app, specifically with versions 11.144.x and 11.145.x.
Users on various Android devices including Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones have noted that Google Maps opens normally but then closes suddenly after a few seconds. This makes the app unusable for checking maps or getting directions.
Notably, the issue seems to be more common for those on the Android 15 Beta, though people with the stable version are also facing the same.
If you’re experiencing this issue, you can try a temporary solution to fix it. You can uninstall recent updates of Google Maps, just need to go to the App info page, and tap on the Uninstall updates option and this may help to fix.
Since Google Maps is often preinstalled on devices, you can’t completely uninstall it. Older versions of the app don’t seem to have this problem, so rolling back to a previous version could be a solution for now.
As of now, Google hasn’t acknowledged the issue or commented on releasing a fix. Not everyone is having this issue, so if your Google Maps is still working, that’s good. If you facing the Google Maps issue, you need to pause updates until this issue is resolved. Stay tuned for updates from Google for a permanent solution.
